Özet	The media-use diary method has participants record their media use repeatedly over days or weeks, close to when it happens, capturing everyday media behavior in its natural context with minimal retrospective bias. It yields intensive longitudinal data that reveal how media use varies within individuals across time and situations, not just averaged across people.	Audience reception analysis studies how real audiences interpret and make meaning from media texts, rejecting the idea that meaning is simply transmitted from message to receiver. Built on Stuart Hall's encoding/decoding model and David Morley's empirical work, it treats interpretation as an active, socially situated process and examines whether audiences accept, negotiate, or resist the meanings a text seems to prefer.
